Location and Spawns
They are unique to the Nether realm and spawn underground or on the walls of the Nether. They are found in all biomes except the basalt delta biome. They are characterized by their small golden spots on the Nether rack block.
Players can break them using a wooden pickaxe or better to mine. A single Nether gold ore drops 2-6 gold nuggets when broken. This value is increased by the Fortune Enchantment.

If players break the block using a non-Silk Touch, the block will break into gold nuggets. However, if the player has a pickaxe with Silk Touch Enchantment, it will drop the Nether Gold Ore block.
Players can then place this block in a furnace or blast furnace to obtain a gold ingot instead of gold nuggets.
